…Kubrik masterminded Dr. Strangelove, loosely basing the movie upon the book “Red Alert” (the book is a completely serious Cool War nuclear war scenario, but Strangelove is a complete and total farce) . “Strangelove” came out a year or two after the Cuban October missile crisis, a year after US President John Kennedy was assassinated as well as 2 other contemporaneous films, the bright and paranoid “The Manchurian Candidate” and the serious treatment of the same book, “Fail Favorable.”

Kubrik originally area out to do a serious treatment of the book. But Kubrik found as he tried to construct the screenplay that he kept running into scenes that he ended up writing as satire. Recognizing the challenge, Kubrik enlisted the talents of one of the best comedic screenwriters in Hollywood, Terry Southern, to do the screenplay.

Casting the film was portion genius and share hit-and-miss gay accident. … Somehow Slim Pickens’ name came up and Pickens celebrated the role of the B-52 bomber pilot. Even more ironic yet, Slim Pickens was more conservative than Dan Blocker, but Pickens never caught on during the film’s production that Dr. Strangelove was a comedy, distinguished less a satire and a farce unsympathetic to the official propaganda of the wintry war.

In of itself, it was a amusing master stroke telling Pickens play the role seriously. Pickens was apparently no colossal wit, so Kubrik was able to maintain Pickens completely unaware that Pickens was actually playing in a comedy, not a serious war movie (one can only select that the humor of the space was not lost on the other cast members, including James Earl Jones who played Capt. Kong’s bombardier.. “Don’t yelp Slim this is all a huge joke, we have to let him consider this is a trusty war movie.” ) .

Other than Peter Sellers’ roles, George C. Scott (later in “Patton”) and Obliging Hayden delivered memorable performances. Both were obviously instructed to play their roles “over the top.” Kubrik instructed Scott to overact the role of the cigar-smoking, gut-slapping, martini-drinking & womanizing General Buck Turgidson (come by it? Turgid-son? ) . In the scene in the war room where Turgidson exuberantly proclaims the spectacle of a B-52 bomber evading radar by hedge-hopping, Kubrik instructed George C. Scott to deliberately overact the section. Kubrik had Scott re-take the scene several times, asking Scott to earn it even more over-the-top than before. On the last acquire of that scene, Scott practically performed it as a burlesque parody, which was of course, the final catch that Kubrik actually traditional.

Sterling Hayden delivered a smart performance as the psychotic Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper, the Air Force general who unilaterally orders the nuclear strike against the USSR. The confusion of Chilly War paranoia, paranoid psychosis and fallacious sexual power in Hayden’s scenes is the blackest of dismal satire. Totally over the top, ludicrous and frightenlingly possible (what if one of your top military brass really went insane and over-rode all the safe-guards against nuclear war? ) . The insane babblings of General Ripper plot the film’s direction and act as its centerpiece, delivering both Kubrik’s satire of anti-communist propaganda and the air of impossible odds for the rest of the film’s characters to overcome that they might somehow avert doomsday.

Peter Seller’s performances as the President, the British officer and Dr. Strangelove (a left-over Nazi scientist) are memorable, Sellers delivers the title role as the deranged wheelchair-bound Nazi scientist who suffers from involuntary palsied “Seig Hiels!” in his lawful arm. Again sex is the valid underlying motive to yet another character and the opportunities for a sexually prodigious post-apocalyptic eugenic world brings the deranged Strangelove to a frenzied outburst of libidinal energy: “Mein Fuhrer! I can vwalk!” But as distinguished as I like Sellers’ roles, they seem overshadowed by the rest of the film’s characters. P>It comes probably of no surprise that the U.S. Air Force refused to encourage Kubrik in shooting the movie. Having to choice, Kubrik had to resort to mocking up the B-52 flying scenes and bomber interior cabin scenes as best he could (the bomber interior was apparently such a friendly replica of the exact thing that the FBI launched an investigation into who gave Kubrik such a detailed layout of a B-52’s flight deck) . Appropriately, the exterior B-52 flying scenes beget a funny flaw if you eye closely enough: In one scene, as the damaged bomber hedge-hops across the Siberian taiga (northern boreal forest), you can survey that the underlying shadow of the plane is actually that of a four-engine propellor aircraft and doesn’t match the profile of the overlaid B-52 model.

Suffice it to say, when the movie came out, it was not universally received or even widely understood. It was drummed by political commentators and movie reviewers who found it to be tasteless and sophomoric. The studio was very concerned about the potential a negative backlash from its release (think that in the same year, the Manchurian Candidate was withdrawn from theaters after Kennedy was assassinated) . An internal memo described Dr. Strangelove as “a astronomical, sick malefic joke” and questioned the wisdom of even releasing the movie at all. After all, the movie starts off with B-52’s and tanker planes copulating during mid-flight refuelings, displays Air Force “Peace is Our Profession” billboards in the midst of a fire fight between the US Army and Air Force security, depicts two Air Force generals as complete sex-obsessed baffoons, one a psychotic and the other a braying ass, delivers a deranged Nazi scientist and finally a cowboy pilot bucking the biggest phallic bronco of his career (never mind blowing up the world) .

I can assume of few other films whose film makers so defied convention and created a sage that really turned worn wisdom on its head. Dr. Strangelove keeps coming at you as one nefarious scene after another, interspersed with segments of complete straight-faced dead-pan, piling them all on until the fateful ruin. When Pickins died in 1983, CBS news anchor Dan Rather delivered the obituary replete with the out assume of Pickins riding the bomb (Perhaps DeForest Kelley topped that and made expedient on his threat to have “He’s listless, Jim” engraved on his tombstone….) .

There are some things you fair can’t live down: Being the face that gets a gigantic closing falling scene that leads to the raze of all life on Earth happens to be one of those things. Unpleasant Slim, he’s probably suffering in a purgatory of a Liberal Methodist heaven.

In closing, I have to agree with that long-forgotten studio executive who wrote in the memo: Dr. Strangelove *IS* a vast, sick malefic joke. But it is one of the finest grand, sick malefic jokes ever created, and stands as a film masterpiece. Those who extoll the virtues of this fil

I doubt that you could imagine how noteworthy it would harm me to give a single-star rating to an edition of the film I assume to be the singular greatest contribution to the motion portray. However, the fresh “40th Anniversary” edition of Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned To Terminate Worrying And Care For The Bomb is, unquestionably, requiring of such a rating. Why?, you ask.

Because about fifteen to twenty percent of the camouflage image has been removed!!!

If you select a ogle, you will gawk that this current “Special” edition of Dr. Strangelove is presented in anamorphic widescreen, with a 1.66:1 aspect ratio. This, as you can salvage from examining older editions of the film, is the first time the film has ever been presented in such a manner. The reason why (and you may cross-check this with the Internet Movie Database [IMDb] or any book on Stanley Kubrick worth its salt) is because Dr. Strangelove was NOT FILMED in 1.66:1. It was technically filmed with a varying aspect ratio (the reasons for which are composed not fully explicated, as far as I’ve seen), but, in general, it was filmed in about 1.33:1.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb! Click Here

So, you ask, how does a film shot in 1.33:1 earn presented in 1.66:1? Did someone return to the unique negative and repeat material previously hidden from contemplate, lost on every print and VHS, Beta, laserdisc and DVD copy heretofore released?

NO!

They simply gash off the top and bottom of the cloak!!!

Such things are not unprecedented. An extremely similar case is the so-called “panoramic” Gone With The Wind. The film, made in 1939 (before there was anything BUT 1.33:1, the “Academy” aspect ratio), when released in the Panavision/Technorama age of the mid-1960’s was similar chopped and changed to magically become 2.35:1. This edition was released on video and DVD a few times before, finally, it was restored to its recent 1.33:1 glory.

Stanley Kubrick was absolutely distinguished for his perfectionism and auteur region in the film industry, and I cannot possess that a company proposing to release a definitive “Special” edition of his greatest masterpiece would be so heartless as to unnecessarily delete a valid allotment of the shroud.

Please avoid this current, bastardized Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned To Halt Worrying And Treasure The Bomb. While the few modern extras thereon are of interest, they can easily be seen via rental from the local video store, as suplemental to the last “Special Edition” of the DVD (which, incidentally, clearly states on the wait on that it is “Presented in the new aspect ratio of approximately 1.33:1″.

Thank you,

Marc-David Jacobs

P.S. For those of you eager in seeing the poor editing job for yourselves, feel free to go out and rent the unique edition and the previous edition and go to seven minutes and forty-eight seconds, which is the improper tight shot of the B-52’s CRM-114 decoder book. As you will peruse, an entire line of text on the top, and about one-and-a-half on the bottom are not completely missing.

These episodes were produced two years after the fresh Batman: Racy series ended, and were made for the KidsWB Saturday morning block, which was calm relatively fresh at that time. What’s considerable about these episodes is that the character designs have been totally revamped, and this was when the “DC provocative universe” really began, as Batman stories would often cross-over with the Superman series and vice-versa.

The sincere shame about The Recent Batman Adventures is that KidsWB basically stopped production after 24 episodes, so we don’t earn to recognize the modern revamps as mighty as we’d like (ex. Riddler, unfortunately, only shows up in minor cameos) . A host of unusual villains and femme fatales appear, including Calendar Girl, Roxy Rocket, and the (dreaded) Farmer Brown and his mutant farm animals. Etrigan and The Creeper manufacture their first challenging appearances, but only bag an episode each (Etrigan was later fleshed out in Justice League) . Most telling is that distinct set threads feel rushed, including the introduction of Tim Drake as the modern Robin, the departure and return of Dick Grayson as Nightwing, and even a novel twist titillating Two-Face. There impartial weren’t enough episode to allege everything the staff wanted to stutter (and maybe they told one Joker tale too many) .

Are these episodes as pleasant as the modern B:TAS? Overall, no. It’s more about droll book fights and action now. Bruce Wayne’s a puny stiffer and darker, and the stories have lost that humanizing touch the best B:TAS episodes had (with exceptions of course) . Is the quality unexcited there? Yes. This is quiet profitable entertainment for kids and adults alike, and unusual viewers may be surprised at how ragged these episodes feel compared to the stuff on KidsWB these days.

Definitely take up vol. 4. It’s a nice supplement to the initial 3 volumes, and continues the captivating legacy of Batman nicely. Here’s hoping Batman Beyond gets the box residence treatment next.

New adventures await you and the Gotham Knights in Batman: The Bright Series, Volume Four – The Original Batman Adventures! Revamped from the murky deco days of the novel series with a simpler yet stylized unusual glance, the Novel Batman Adventures featured the Gotham Knights: Batman & Robin, Batgirl and Nightwing in some of their most memorable episodes. Introducing the voices of Mathew Valencia as Tim Drake, the original Robin and Tara Charendoff-Strong (replacing Melissa Gilbert-Brinkman) as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, this 4-disc (521 min.) spot contains all 24 episodes from the series which include classics “You Scratch My Succor”, “Aged Wounds” and fan-favorite “Over the Edge”. Other highlights include “Legends of the Dim Knight” which acknowledges the works of Bill Finger, Dick Sprang and Frank Miller. Not to mention “Never Fright” featuring the most horrific version of the Scarecrow (chillingly voiced by Jeffrey Combs) ever intriguing. The Current Batman Adventures not only refined the designs of the characters (a “taste great/less filling” matter of belief) but also how the stories were presented to viewers. The show’s pacing and even balance of old melodrama and stylized action would abet as a diagram for the success of future shows Batman Beyond and Justice League Unlimited. Here are the contents of this set:

Disc 1:

Holiday Knights

Sins of the Father

Cold Comfort

Double Talk

I have been writing to this company for years asking them to win up this property again and they finally did! So you can thank me for this juicy bit of Samurai Cinema. These films are fabulous and I would recommend them for anybody (over the age of 18) who loves “Zatoichi” or any other Samurai film or series such as “Lone Wolf and Cub.” Purposeful plots and fun fight scenes splatter across the shroud in these first four films of Nemuri Kyoshiro, the Son of the Sunless Mass, as he roams the streets of Edo or the countryside of fuedal Japan. Give these films a try and you wont be disappointed, fail to do so and you may be disemboweled…

I have the laser disc versions of episodes 1-4 from Animeigo so am eagerly awaiting the notice going down to ‘upgrade’ my collection of these huge films into DVD format. Raizo’s character in this series honest doesn’t operate with a consistently correct deck – he is erratic (and thus the films are always surprising. Colossal character.) The middle period of these “Son of Murky Mass” films (ep 5-8) have better production values than these four and the series gets more psychedelically baroque as it moves on (not to detriment.) I score myself not really responding fully to the series (which I glance repeatedly) until episode three. The awful princess in film three is expansive, and the somewhat slower/dark (by that I mean not very colorful prints) episodes 1 & 2 are left unhurried. From this point on the series becomes consistently exceptional, albeit a bit episodic with arbitrary plotting at times. The Sunless Mass films have replaced the Lone Wolf and Cub flics (the six films) as my celebrated all-time chambarra fix.

A dangerous wedding of wholesome classic animation, to adult and often dark-themed material. The risk paid off and the result is one of the greatest achievements of Disney Studios.

Buy,Download, Or Stream The Hunchback of Notre Dame! Click Here

The animation here is first rate and the entire thing is shot like a live-action film with some fabulous long shots, mountainous theatrical panning and even at one point, during Quasimodo’s song “Out There” a realistic camera flare (I did a double remove the first time I saw it!) Hunchback is filled with all sorts of colossal “tricks” like this. Lighting effects here are nothing short of glowing – often subtle they sometimes change in an instant dramatically altering the mood of the section. Frodo’s demonic song “Hellfire” is perhaps one the most nefarious and horrible moments to emerge from Disney and the animators let loose.

The prologue to the movie alone is a minor masterpiece and, like Beauty and the Beast, marvelously prepares us for the whirlwind of a epic to remove area.

The complaints about the singing and dancing gargoyles Victor, Hugo and Laverne, are simply wrongheaded. I read the Hugo classic too, and know they’re not in there. What the complainants fail to realize is these gargoyles live only in Quasimodo’s imagination. He invented these companions to ease an otherwise tortured, lonely, friendless life. The culmination of all of this becomes distinct in the spectacular song “A guy like you” which finishes with pigeons flying and hearts and banners and ribbons and Quasimodo being notorious and then BAM immediately upon the conclusion of the final notes, the room becomes the same dismal, dank, splintering tower filled with relics, junk and heartbreak. It’s one of the movie’s most shattering effects.

While deserved praise goes to the animators and crew, the enlighten talent here is, in my conception, Disney’s very best. Tom Hulce goes to the very soul of Quasimodo and gives a performance that is as poignant and shattering as anything he has done (Hulce also happened to be the best Hamlet I’ve ever seen.) Positive lines (”I am a monster, you know”) will ring in my ear forever. Hulce has a handsome recount and renders “Out there” with such abandon and vigor it makes my hair stand on raze. In the unruffled “Heaven’s light” (which sequences into a heavenly shot of the bells frantically ringing the opening theme), Hulce brings a fragility to such lines as “no face as repulsive as my face, was ever meant for Heaven’s light” that only a heart of stone would not be moved. Switching from pathos to rage, Hulce lets us feel the hidden rage and concern that this character also possesses. It is a truly distinguished performance.

Demi Moore, Kevin Kline, Tony Jay, Paul Kandel – and the rest of the cast all sound at the top of their game creating fantastic and shining characters.

Alan Menkin and Stephen Schwartz derive to the heart of the matter with come by and songs – a sound – that are as integral a allotment of the telling of this chronicle as the animation and voices.

Hunchback is a miracle of a movie!

It would not be hard to see a more difficult memoir line for Disney to adapt on conceal than Victor Hugo’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, but that doesn’t mean it was a gallop in the park either. Not only is there the conundrum of how to beget Quasimodo good to his character and at the same time not so evil in appearance as to frighten off youngsters, but how will Victor Hugo’s unlit commentary of 15th Century Parisian life, capital punishment and religious bigotry be accommodated? What of Claude Frollo’s lascivious desires for Esmerelda and wanton acts upon Quasimodo and gypsies? And that ending…a bit of a downer don’t you reflect? Well, enjoy it or not, Disney stays good to each of these facets of the modern…with the exception of the tragic conclusion, of course.

Buy,Download, Or Stream The Hunchback of Notre Dame! Click Here

Talking gargoyles aside, the film really does not do enough to accommodate young viewers (and perhaps it was a mistake to market this as a kid’s movie, but you got to sell those Burger King toys somehow!) . The villain (Frollo) is among the most harmful characters ever portrayed in a Disney movie, and unlike Jafar (”Alladin”) or Hades (”Hercules”), there is nothing comic about him. On the other hand, the animators went a slight overboard with Quasimodo, who kinda looks like a red-headed Chris Farley. And Phoebus has the personality of Al Gore…if he were any more wooden you’d have to check him for termites. Also, some very intriguing characters from the book are regrettably absent. Where’s Pierre Gringoire, Jehan Frollo, and Sister Gudule? Smooth, the animation is breathtaking, and the finale is nearly flawless…preferred to unique version if you’re a sentimental fan of gay endings.

The movie contains a few hilarious subliminal references, as when Quasimodo (Tom Hulce) is dressed up briefly as Amadeus. The music is wonderful and supports the film’s most compelling scenes: Esmerelda singing “God Serve The Outcasts” while taking sanctuary in the cathedral, the counterpoint of Quasimodo’s “Heaven’s Light” to Frollo’s “Hell Fire,” and the heart-pumping accumulate gradual the finale. Probably would have been given a PG rating if not for Eisner’s influence over MPAA.

Since I study all the questions seem to anguish the logistics of the plot, that is the main thing I will address in this review, since you would have to be a resident of another planet to not know the epic leisurely the series “Friends”. Suffice it to say it is a classic silly treatment of what I have always called the “post-college adolescent phase” of life, which is roughly the ten years immediately following college graduation as you strike out on your absorb and try to salvage your location in life. It is the time in life when you are likely to have the best health, the most freedom, the most disposable income if not necessarily the most total income, and the most fun if you are fortunate enough to have people to piece it all with. This phase ends when you “resolve down” both career-wise and family-wise, and I always found Friends to track this time in life quite accurately and with both drama and enormous humor.

Buy,Download, Or Stream Friends – The Complete Series Collection! Click Here

As for logistics, this collection fits in a sturdy red box that’s less than a foot long. There are 40 DVDs containing 236 episodes that can be found inside. The Friends residence unbiased has two pieces of the box that comes together. Flipping the top up exposes the guts of the status consisting of 6 books, with one for each Friend. Thus there are only 6 books to occupy the 10 seasons. Each book has a describe of the Friend, a number (1-6), and the episodes you can regain in each case. The books flip start from the top, and each disc has its enjoy pouch in the double-sided pages. Every disc has a different photo of the Friend, and they’re all inserted into the pouches so that the photo is visible as you flip through the book. The disc number and episode numbers are also visible. The contents of the discs are the same as the previous sets, but they have novel artwork.

Besides the packaging, there’s unprejudiced one thing to designate for this release, that being the episode guide booklet. This 60 page booklet lists every episode with its synopsis and the disc you can bag it on. Of course, the bonus material is mentioned along with the disc it can be found on, and the bonus features include 25 documentaries. You’ll also glean the recent treatment for the series written by David Crane and Marta Kauffman. The booklet, which is as wide as the box, can be found leisurely the DVD books.

As for veil format, it’s fleshy cover, which is what Friends was filmed in. The corpulent cloak ratio is 4:3, which is the same as 1.33:1. You can recount in wide hide and carve off parts of the frame to beget it fit a veteran 4:3 TV, which is what is done with rotund shroud editions of movies. However, you can’t add stuff to a frame that was recorded in 4:3 and form it widescreen.

There’s very small of value here for someone who already has the season 1-10 boxes, and the book with the episode information is objective an upgraded version of the booklets that approach with the season sets. If you don’t already occupy the 10 seasons then this is an easy plan to occupy the indicate since it is a lot cheaper than buying each state individually. It’s also nicer than the box place released last year, which was the existing 10 seasons in a enormous box. If you choose to replace your existing sets then you’ll be ecstatic to know the residence takes up exactly the same amount of shelf station.

I savor this demonstrate but I am returning this box location and decided to order the individual seasons separately for the following reasons:

1) Many of the DVDs are wrong and skip even when they are not physically scratched. I tested this with multiple DVD players which have never given me problems before. If you check other reviews this quality control jabber is aesthetic current with the DVDs from this box plot. From what I can boom the quality control on the current season sets is considerable better.

2) Disc 28 was missing and I got two copies of Disc 29 instead.

3) The corner of the collector’s box was broken/damaged when i received it.

4) The discs are spread out through 6 scratch-prone cardboard-like sleeves for each character instead of by Season. Cute, but i don’t want to have to begin up a damn episode guide and scrutinize up the episode number to figure out which season i’m about to seek, while worrying about scratching my DVDs when taking them in and out of the sleeves.

I’m David Shaber’s daughter, Sam, (Samantha.) My father wrote the screenplay for The Warriors, and I’m hoping this “review” gets printed because he fair passed away on Thursday morning, November 4th, of a sudden burst anneurism. With so many “Warriors” fans out there, I conception you would want to know. I’m incredibly warmed by these unbelievable comments about this film and I know that if he read them (although he had barely learned how to search the internet before he died) he would chuckle in his lighthearted blueprint and say something like “Oh, well isn’t that nice,” all-the-while refusing to rob credit for any of it. But I know he deserved that credit, having taken a sad, psychological spy of gang warfare and infusing it with a classic but clever and topical, obedient vs. rank sage. (And maybe I shouldn’t admit it, but my dad didn’t really like the baseball face-paint notion which I maintain was one of Walter Hill’s additions – he view that was too unrealistic and “Hollywood”…) Anyway, I do hope the movie is re-issued with the extra scenes at some point, and for those sincere “followers” I fair discovered that you can gather a complete list of his produced titles on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) if you want to check it out. The Warriors is indeed an AFFECTING recount, whether you adore it or loathe it. So thanks for your comments and hold care, -Sam.

Walter Hill ( “48 Hrs”, “Hard Times”, “Gross Prejudice” ) shows his directing flair for action, drama and style in this crackling 1979 movie about a Coney Island gang falsely accused of cancel and fleeing from their accusers….the other NYC gangs and the Unusual York City Police Department.

Hill successfully adapted to the veil the moderately celebrated original by author Sol Yurick who worked with the NYC Dept of Welfare in the 1950’s. Yurick traditional the basis of broken-down Greek history and the torturous saunter home by Greek soldiers after their leader, Cyrus the Younger, was killed in the Persian Wars…and simply updated the setting to fresh day NY and it’s raging gang warfare embracing the five boroughs!

Set amongst a hostile, nocturnal world of neon lit say stations, baseball bat wielding gang members and lethal, gun toting women “The Warriors” moves along at a frenetic tear with a comely selection of young actors taking the lead. Michael Beck plays the frosty headed, war chief “Swan”, seeking to secure the other members abet home to Coney Island alive and in one section. James Remar is unforgettable as the woman chasing, hot headed “Ajax”…always out to indicate his manhood with his fists. And David Patrick Kelly is perfect as the murderous, but cowardly leader of the Rogues.

Attending a combined meeting of dozens of street gangs deep in the South Bronx to hear the Gramercy Riffs plans to control the streets of Fresh York, the Warriors are wrongly accused of the shooting death of their charismatic leader, “Cyrus”. The finger of blame pointed their design, they cruise via any means they can and upon their procedure assist to home detestable encounter violent opposition from the gross life “Orphans”, the shaven headed “Turnbull AC’s”, the face painted “Baseball Furies”, the seductive all female gang, the “Lizzies” and even rifts within their gain ranks lead to grief.

The film was roundly savaged by several sections of the community (mainly law enforcement & welfare groups) upon it’s release for apparently inciting gang violence and it’s abominable depiction of inner city street kids, and yes, there were several immoral incidents at theatre’s upon the film’s release, but these have been blown well out of all proportion. Although, I must say when the film was released in my country (Australia) it was already riding a wave of notoriety, and attracted “dreadful boys” in their droves to scrutinize this “unfavorable” gang flick. When viewed in the icy light of day, the film is actually fairly cartoon like in it’s depiction of urban violence and most anyone who receives a beating seems to be left objective rubbing their head and moaning ( assume Sylvester the Cat ) in discomfort!

Actor Thomas G. Waites who played the Warriors gang member “Fox”, disagreed with the script and effectively walked out in mid-production, so a grip doubled for Waites in several scenes and Waites’ name was removed from the final credits. Additionally, the “Fox” character’s fate was re-written to have him die in the film after being hurled in front of a subway insist.

Interestingly, out of a on mask line up of promising young talent, very few of the cast went on to any genuine major fame & fortune in Hollywood. Lead actor Michael Beck (Swan) went on to appear next in the sugary “Xanadu” with Olivia Newton-John, and by his acquire admission, it was not a broad career disappear, and his film career unfortunately never really flourished. James Remar (Ajax) has easily experienced the most success (with about 70 feature film’s under his belt) and he has continued his motif of tough, aggressive leads in films like “48 Hrs”, and plenty of “straight to video” action fare…plus Remar even crops up regularly on “Sex and the City” & “Third Leer” re-runs! (It’s edifying to seek that hard hitting “Ajax” never left Current York.) And the terrific David Patrick Kelly has kept busy, usually in other cross, criminal roles…check out his performances in “Commando”, “The Crow” & “Wild at Heart”!

Sadly, young actor Marcellino Sanchez who played graffiti artist “Rembrandt” died from cancer only a few years after the films release.

The recently released “Ultimate Directors Prick” of this cult classic has several helpful extras. Apart from an introduction from director Walter Hill, and some interconnecting laughable panel art between sequences in the feature, the DVD has four mini featurettes chock beefy of interviews with key cast members and production staff discussing key sequences in the film, plus the phenomenal cult following that has developed for “The Warriors”.

A brilliant, entertaining and rapidly paced film…albeit corny in places with that laughable treasure epic sub space with bee stung lipped, Deborah Van Valkenbergh…”The Warriors” is a bona fide cult film with a legion of fans across the globe.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is objective unimaginative fun. While this Sonic and Tails tag-along might have you cringing at a few cheesy lines here and there, it’s a silly, fast-moving classic that packs a lot of nostalgic punch for those of us who grew up watching it in the 90’s. Not only that, it’s loaded with old-school Sonic spirit. It’s stout to inspect this classic fragment of Sonic history coming to DVD!

This is the explain I loved to advance home to after school. Time hasn’t distress it too dreadful at all, and definately recommend it to fans.

This is my current production of the ALICE books. I esteem the sets, songs, and casting. It’s also very British, which I judge adds another enormous element to the mix.

No such luck.

The DVD appears to be struck from the same crappy VHS version that’s been out there for ages. Feeble colors. Pan-and-scan. In this age of DVD, quality like this is such a shame.

This is a very animated adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, featuring a plethora of major British actors from the time this movie was made. Brand that today’s younger audience, weened on an MTV diet of speedily cuts and unbelievable CGI, may pick up this tiring,. But if one can accumulate beyond that, it’s most definitely worth a view.

That said, this DVD transfer is basically UNWATCHABLE. It’s not determined what source they passe for the transfer, but there are Bad audio pitch problems throughout the movie, with wow and flutter horribly apparent. This is particularly problematic for a movie like this with a well-known orchestral and vocal acquire. If you have any sense of pitch, you’ll glean yourself pulling your hair out listening to the off-key strings! The video quality is lovely substandard, as well–worse than standard cable. A accurate travesty.

“Time hath not altered” the emotional impact this movie has on me when I contemplate it. The word “poignant” has grown hackneyed from overuse, but it certainly applies to this broad film. Few films can equal it in terms of dramatic artistry and pitch perfect performances. There’s not one maudlin impress in a film that could easily have descended into bathetic melodrama in lesser hands.

Lynch was practically a neophyte at the time he directed this movie, yet to many (and to most, for that matter, do the lawful believers) THE ELEPHANT MAN is his magnum opus. I absorb this is because of the mostly Britsh, classically trained actors that made up the cast. Hopkins and Wound excell. Anne Bancroft (who I enjoy is the only American in the cast) delivers a flawless performance. Freddy Jones, as Bytes (this was before the internet, remember) is simply uncanny in his tour-de-force portrayal of arguably the vilest villain in cinema history. Who cares that the character was totally innacurate, historically? He chews up the scenery in suitable Broad Guignol fashion. Gielgud and Wendy Hiller are also on hand to provide levitas. One can’t bag a better ensemble. It’s criminal that at least one of them weren’t awarded an Oscar, but that’s impartial another example of how meaningless those petite gold statuettes are, more often than not.

Though this is a lot more linear than most of Lynch’s movies, there is enough of the surreal on hand to withhold the die hards elated. But the surrealism doesn’t pick up in the scheme of the space. Christopher de Vore and Eric Bergren, who collaborated with Lynch on the screenplay, can catch some credit for that. Worn cinematographer, Freddie Francis did perhaps the best work of his career here. The dark and white images are as splendid as it gets. The sets are unforgettable. Victorian London has never looked so convincing on veil, yet with that nightmarish quality that defines most of the movie.

If you’ve never seen this movie, secure your hands on a copy, soon. It couldn’t be described as “weepy,” by any means. But if you’re not reaching for the kleenex at some stage in this marvellous film, I’d ask the Wizard for a heart, if I were you. For those of you who haven’t seen it in a while, give it a re-viewing. It absolutely holds up, particularly in comparison to 1980 Best Report, ORDINARY PEOPLE…and Best Director, Robert Redford? Hopkins didn’t fetch nominated, but Jack Lemmon did for TRIBUTE? Anyone remember that one? Gotta go fetch some Maalox.

As I sit down to write this review, my experiences with it from my youth came flooding aid. I first saw it as a 17 year passe high-schooler at my local movie theater, leisurely one evening. I had seen, and enjoyed, the Broadway play a few months earlier, and wanted to search for how the movie compared. The play, I should say, was very spellbinding and had a definite spareness in its production earn that was very effective. I had left the theatre with a moist see and an interest in learning more about John Merrick, The Elephant Man (who had neurofibromatosis, NOT elephantitis, as is so often attributed to him) .

Anyway, when the movie concluded, the ENTIRE audience of 150 or so sat in its seats, numbed and unmoving. It was one of those experiences where you fight encourage your tears, because you’re skittish if you let go, you’ll inaugurate bawling like a baby! The film was so profoundly engaging to me and so artistically lustrous, that I went again the very next day, dragging reluctant friends with me. They were all skittish. I watched it AGAIN later that week.

I’ve watched it on video a couple of times years ago, but until I rewatched it recently on DVD, it had been nearly 10 years since I’d seen it.

The epic is place in the early turn-of-the-twentieth-century London. John Merrick (John Injure) is, for lack of a better word, enslaved as a sideshow freak. He has the most evil growths on his bones, which give him a grisly appearance. His head is probably three times bigger than a normal human, and the shape resembles a lumpy dirigible. His limbs are mostly tangled messes. Eminent physician Dr. Treves (Anthony Hopkins) hears of this “elephant man” and is fascinated so greatly by his condition that he brings him to his hospital for observe. Everyone has always assumed this man must be a still “idiot.” Turns out that Merrick is a gentle, thoughtful and almost unbearably forgiving soul. The relationship that emerges between Treves and Merrick, as well as with Merrick and virtually everyone he encounters, is at the heart of this film.

(Mark of caution: The movie does not follow John Merrick’s life terribly accurately…neither did the play. When I read the biography of Merrick that his doctor, Treves, wrote, I got his “right” legend, which is fair as lively in its hold blueprint.)

David Lynch, we all know, is a “difficult” director, at least when it comes to story continuity. This movie, however, is his most accessible (along with THE STRAIGHT Account, which doesn’t even feel like a Lynch movie) . It tells a straightforward yarn…no dancing dwarfs, no tiny people unhurried radiators, no Wizard of Oz references, etc. etc. No Laura Palmer. However, the touches he brings to it are pure Lynch, and they support the movie profoundly.

For example, the movie takes state in the midst of the early Industrial Revolution, when science was becoming more “common” or “glorified” by the masses. It was also a time when London was awash in factories, and all the noise and pollution they wrought. If you’ve seen ERASERHEAD or DUNE, you know that Lynch likes to have lots of background noises of machinery. Often, those sounds are distracting. In ELEPHANT MAN, we are constantly aware, through these sounds, that we are in a very specific time and region, where the lifeblood of society was machinery, but substantial, dirty, unsubtle, perilous machinery. This, coupled with the dazzling gloomy and white cinematography, truly invent a mood that is unequaled.

Also, there are some brief dream sequences in which Merrick sees his mother. She flits in and out of his dreams in a manner only Lynch can evoke. No one has ever been better at capturing on film the elusive nature of dreaming…that dreams are a crazy combination of noble things and poor things happening all at once. These dreams are not a “design” but a window into Merrick’s soul.

Those of us who remember when the film first came out remember the constant rehashing of the “I am not an animal, I am a human being, I am a MAN!!” line that Merrick yells out when cornered in a verbalize situation. This howl of despair is one of the most exciting moments EVER place to film. I tear-up objective thinking about it.

The makeup is unbelievable. Having seen photos of the proper Merrick, I can region that the makeup crew got it just! And the unlit and white helps to shroud any imperfections. And underneath the makeup…

…is John Pain, a unbelievable actor in the role of his lifetime. He brings a delicacy and gentleness to the piece that has to bee seen to be believed. I guarantee you’ll be moved.

Hurt is ably assisted by Anthony Hopkins in a role which calls for restraint, and he delivers, which is current for Hopkins, who can overact at the fall of a hat…I esteem him, but sometimes he can overdo it, you must admit. The rest of the cast is bulky of familiar British character actors, as well as a brief but luminous appearance by Anne Bancroft. Everyone is at their very best.

Initially, the film snags the viewer because of our fascination at seeing a human being so horrifically ghastly. It holds a lurid fascination that fades into compassion and empathy. If a person as horribly mistreated by his fellow man, as well as by fate, can net beauty, forgiveness, tenderness and treasure flowing from him and to him…well, the film leaves you to design your fill personal conclusions.

I know that Lynch receives more ongoing accolades for his disturbing BLUE VELVET, and of course, for the groundbreaking TWIN PEAKS…but THE ELEPHANT MAN is the one I’m always drawn support to.

I simply cannot recommend this film highly enough. Moviemaking doesn’t earn any more heartbreaking and effective than this masterpiece.

How astounding it is to have this unusual movie beautifully restored to its new length and scene order by the British Film Institute.

Until about ten years ago, I had never seen this film. I had never rented the sever, reconfigured tape, because I didn’t mediate I’d like the film (in any produce) . But the L.A. County Museum of Art had an Archers’ retrospective several years ago that included the BFI restoration print. Despite many of there pictures being among my favorites, I smooth concept I was in for a hoary WW II propaganda film. I could crawl if I didn’t like it.

Was I ever contaminated. I came out considering it among The Archers best works. which in my book, means one of the finest films ever.

“The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp,” in the novel version, is a intelligent mix of WW II propaganda, an often whimisical loving satire of the system. It is ultimately one of the most winning anti-war films ever. In a different plot, as proper as “Gargantuan Illusion.”

This low-key tale begins with the Boer War, when Blimp is a young (too) gung-ho officer to the time the film was made–mid-war 1943. The cast is fine. Roger Livesey gives one of the best performances imaginable. Deborah Kerr (18) at the time, gives a tour-de-force performance as the three different women Blimp falls for in the 40-year span of the film. Anton Walbrook Is so intellectual in this film. This man I am now convinced was one of the greatest actors of the 20th Century. His controversial character is a German officer Blimp befriends in the Boer War and they become life-time friends, with Blimp vouching for him being permitted to pause in England during WW II. Walbrook’s scene explaining why he has left Germany is as ample, if not greater than his curtain speech in “Red Shoes.” Most other actors would have turned this into maudlin sentimentality. Walbrook instead gave me a giant lump in my throat. I don’t lump easily.

If you’ve never seen the complete, uncut and untampered with film and are Archers devotee, this is the version for you.

The extras are uniformly shapely. The commentary track with Martin Scorsesse and director Michael Powell, from a recording he made on first viewing the restored film, is enthralling and perceptive. He sounds very dilapidated and can be hard to understand because of it, but it is worth the extra peril to hear him comment on one of his personal favorites.

There is also an helpful half-hour or so documentary, that includes Emeric Pressburger’s grandson, that helps elaborate why and how the film was tampered with and almost never seen as a result of Prime Minister Winston Churchill trying to ban it. No luck in England. J. Arthur Snide released it in his English theatres and advertised “Inspect The Banned Film.” And it was a stout hit. The “banned” got the initial audiences in, word-of-mouth made it the movie too leer. Winnie also failed in his attempts to terminate exportation to other countries.

One of the most luminous, witty,serious, breathtakingingly fine Technicolor films ever released.

Get this Criterion appreciate now. It also includes several Colonel Blimp “fresh” editorial cartoons, by Blimp creator David Vulgar. Some are timely today and could bustle with the names changed to suit today’s political and military madness. The editorial cartoons were a revelation to me.

Archer Fans, order now and have a really complete collection of these unusual gems.

The chap from England, below, is absolutey, just.

This and “A Matter of Life and Death” are Powell & Presberger’s masterpieces, before they descended into the schmalz of “The Red Shoes”. The narrative of the essentially decent British and German gentlemen, played by Roger Livesey and Anton Walbrook respectively, lickety-split becoming dinosaurs in the changing Europe between the Boer War and the Blitz, yet clinging to their values despite being kicked in the face by the brutalisation of Germany and by the consequent brutalisation of a Britain attempting to survive against barbarism. Their friendship begins from the mutual respect engendered by a duel fought reluctantly for the honour of their respective traditions at the time of the Boer War. During convalescence they vie for the hand of Deborah Kerr, turning up in the first of 3 roles. Livesey’s shyness leaves Walbrook holding the field. Nearly 20 years pass until they meet again, at a POW camp in Britain. Livesey’s critical naivete rides roughshod over the wartime enmity, but Walbrook’s response is ambivalent, and the reunion is short-lived and bittersweet. Livesey marries Deborah Kerr’s reincarnation as a nurse, because of a resemlance to his first adore. A further 20 years pass. Livesey, widowed, is asked to act as sponsor for Walbrook, now exiled from Germany, also widowed and estranged from his Nazi children. Together they approach to terms with their sidelining in a world of younger men with few of the mature values. Deborah Kerr turns up for the third time as Livesey’s driver as he moves from army officer to Home Guard organiser,refusing to be pushed out of the fight. In appearance Livesey’s character assumes the appearaqnce of David Low’s cartoon Colonel Blimp, but underneath he is more rounded; decent,beneficial to and valid to friends, humdrum to denegrate his foes and totally patriotic, but finally nobody’s fool. John Laurie appears in a luscious cameo as Livesey’s batman/manservant, crusty but staunch. His boss may occasionally enrage and perlex, but Laurie recognises the basic decency, as, finally, all do who arrive into contact with him. It may be propaganda, but it is tranquil attractive.
